The Importance of CPR Classes

CPR Lessons can be the difference between Life and Death to a loved one. Any person that takes care of children should learn CPR and recertify biannually.

When you take a CPR Course you will learn how to administer CPR to adults, Children, and Infants according to the guidelines established by the American Heart Association.

Unfortunately, when a child drowns first responders such as EMT’s, Paramedics, and Firefighters are the first to begin CPR. Lots of people are unwilling to perform CPR because they are afraid of doing it wrong or hurting the child further. If your boy or girl drowns, every second counts. You must not wait around for paramedics to show up to start CPR. Every minute that goes by reduces the chance of survival. CPR is usually successful when given within the first five minutes after the patient quits breathing. How long will it take for EMT’s to arrive? Five minutes? Ten minutes? If this is your boy or girl, can you afford to not know CPR?
